Leonardo Jardim's Monaco have been dazzling Europe all season and their Champions League victory over Manchester City was just the latest success in what has been an impressive campaign, one built on youth.
13 seasons after their last title - a French League Cup - Monaco are well and truly back and their band of youngsters have been the driving force behind their impressive performances, with six under-23s taking on leading roles.
The biggest clubs in the continent are now interested in these promising talents, who we take a look at below:
Kylian Mbappe (18 years old):
The youngest of Jardim's stars, Mbappe has been christened 'the new Henry' given his ability to find the back of the net - he has 11 goals in his past 11 appearances - from his wide forward position, although he is also capable of playing as a centre-forward.
Thomas Lemar (21 years old):
The Frenchman is a complete midfielder, who can contribute in defence and in attack, and Atletico Madrid made an offer last summer for the player now thought to be worth 25 million euros.
Bernardo Silva (22 years old):
For some time, much has been expected of the Portuguese player and he is living up to those expectations this season, making the 16 million euros Monaco paid Benfica for his signature seem worth it.
Fabinho (23 years old):
The Brazilian actually spent some time in Real Madrid Castilla and debuted for the first team under Jose Mourinho before ending up at the Stade Louis II, where he has excelled as a defensive midfielder and as a right-back.
Benjamin Mendy (22 years old):
Didier Deschamps has been so impressed with the left-back that he has called him up for his France squad, with the attack-minded Mendy - who has already made 100 Ligue 1 appearances despite his age - able to offer extra attacking impetus on the left flank.
Timoue Bakayoko (22 years old):
Although this defensive midfielder rarely attacks, Bakayoko came up with the decisive goal in the Ligue 1 leaders' clash with Manchester City and he could be terrorising Pep Guardiola further given that Manchester United are interested in him.
